Descripción
High resolution solar images in the near UV have been obtained with the Solar UV Filtergraph (SUFI) onboard the Sunrise balloon borne observatory, amongst others in wavelength regions not accessible from the ground. We present intensity distributions of the quiet Sun at different heliocentric angles, from disk center to the solar limb. These results, obtained in spectral windows at 214 nm, 313 nm (OH band), 388 nm (CN band) and 396.7 nm (CaIIH), represent an important validation of numerical models of the solar photosphere and are, thus, fundamental ingredients for our understanding of the thermal processes in the solar surface region.
